TOOL-HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 790,477, dated. May 23,1905.

Application filed October 26, 1901.- Serial No. 80,111. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL EMIL BORNER, a subject of the King of Saxony,residing at Chemnitz, in the Kingdom of Saxony, Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Tool-Handles, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to tool-handles; and it has for its object toprovide a tool-handle which will be inexpensive to manufacture and willbe strong and'durable.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certainparts and com loinations of parts, as will be more fully hereinafterdescribed, and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is alongitudinal section of the handle. Fig. 2 is a side view. Fig. 3 is atransverse section on the line A, Fig. 1;

and Fig. 4 is a detail showing the form which the collar of papier-machtakes when the ferrule is placed upon the handle.

The handle at, having a socket c, is reduced to one end and has mountedupon said reduced portion a collar 6, made of papier-mach. A metallicferrule cl, provided with a contracted mouth f, is fitted upon thepapiermach while the mass is in a partly-moist condition, so as not toout into or to destroy the fiber of the material. The papier-ms'ichbeing when dry very tough and at the time having a certain amount ofelasticity, the handle is prevented from splitting when a tool is driventherein.

Having thus described the invention, the following is what is claimed asnew therein:

A handle for tools comprising a papiermach collar fitted at one endthereof and a ferrule provided with a contracted mouth bent into thepapier-mach, compressing the same to form a groove.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CARL EMIL BORNER. Witnesses:
